1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Dabiel, what's your big takeaway from this season? The first

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: year to start us and down? What's your big picture

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: takeaway year? Uh? I mean I think, um, overall, you know,

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: personally as a team, I think just just being more consistent.

5
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: I think, you know, to win this league, and um,

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm still very young and I'm still still learning.

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: But to win this league, you know, you need to

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: be able to to produce. Every game, you need to

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: be able to produce um, you know, really really every quarter,

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: every time you get the ball, you need to expect

11
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: to to produce. So I think, um, you know, as

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 1: a team, we we made plays throughout the year at

13
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: times and and did some good things, but we didn't

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: do enough of it um at key points in the game.

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: And and I think that goes for for me as well,

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: just being being more consistent, um and uh, you know,

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: executing you know a lot more consistently. In college, we

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: were a part of a veteran group, and then we

19
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: are also part of a younger group looking at this

20
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: TV or the young poop is trying to figure out

21
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 1: ways will win. How do you find that balance or

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: how do guys find that balance? Movie? We got a young,

23
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: we're trying to be over We're also trying to win.

24
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: Where is that is that tough to do at this level? Um?

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: You know, I think, uh, you know, we certainly can't

26
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: use being young or being inexperienced as as an excuse.

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: I think, um, when you look at the league, there

28
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 1: are plenty of plenty of young teams who are who

29
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: are winning, who are finding ways to win, and um,

30
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: you know, we've we've got to do that. I think,

31
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: you know, well, we'll continue to improve with every game

32
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: and like you said, um, you know myself, the younger

33
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: guys who who have played a lot this year, we'll

34
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: will benefit from that and uh you know, hopefully improved

35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: going going forward. So um, that's the challenge is to

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: make sure we do do that. But you know, at

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: the same time, we can't use that as an excuse

38
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: or use that to look over a lot of the

39
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: mistakes that were made. We need to you know, correct those,

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: work on those and and make sure they don't happen together.

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: And you've take us through what happened on they play

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: where they're like two fumbles, I think, yeah, with the

43
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: snap and then just drop the snap and then uh

44
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: yeah fumbled so cost the mistake at a key point

45
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: in the game. You know, everyone harps on fumbles. You

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: think that's one of the biggest things that that needs

47
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: to go better for you as you look forward as

48
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: into your second season. Yeah, I think so. I mean

49
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: I think, um, obviously, I mean I think that's that's uh,

50
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: you know, clear to certainly clear to me that it's

51
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: something I need to work on and improve. I think,

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, holding on the ball, um, you know, making

53
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: good decisions when I am throwing the ball. I think

54
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, all that stuff is is uh is key

55
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: to our success and and something that I need to

56
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: improve them. What do you think you've proved to people

57
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: this I think this first season, especially people who might

58
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: have doubted six overall and all that. UM, I don't know,

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not sure I've thought about that a

60
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: whole lot. I think it's just, um, as a team,

61
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: we we didn't, you know, weren't able to prove much.

62
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: You know. I think as a team we we uh,

63
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: like I said, flash at times, but uh, we weren't

64
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: consistent enough. And I think I'm uh, you know, certainly

65
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: included in that. How much did you feel that you

66
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: progressed from week one, well your first start to to

67
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: where you are standing today. Uh. I mean I think

68
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: I've you know, feel like I've learned a lot. I

69
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: feel like I've uh progressed a lot and improved a lot,

70
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: uh in a lot of ways. But at the same time,

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: there are things that work on, things to continue to

72
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: improve on, and and I understand that. But um, you know,

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: looking back to the week one or uh, I guess

74
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: it was week three, I think, Um, you don't feel

75
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: like I've come along way? How about you? What was

76
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: it to have Elion as your support? I'm gonna call

77
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: you back up whatever youbody calling. Uh yeah, I mean

78
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: eli was was It was huge for my growth, my

79
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: my development. I think, um, you know, it's it's uh

80
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: obviously he's a legendary, a legendary player, and and there's

81
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: a reason because he he understands, uh, you know, the game.

82
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: He's done it for a long time. He's seen a

83
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: lot and um, you know, lucky to be able to

84
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: learn from him and just spend you know, spend time

85
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: with him and and uh, you know, I've been been

86
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: fortunate and that with that, he's listening from the head

87
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: coach Patrick um, I mean I think a number of things.

88
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, since I've since I've gotten here,

89
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: coach Sherman has supported me and worked with me. I

90
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: think he's been, um you know, he's been instrumental for

91
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: my my growth and development. I think, um, you know,

92
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: whether it was a good performance or a bad performance,

93
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: I felt like he was he was always you know,

94
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: has been supportive of me this season, and um you know,

95
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: I certainly support him and and UH believe in him

96
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: as a coach. I think he's um much from in

97
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: his football cert
